Green Valley’s Northern Light THCA Diamonds (Indica)

What is THCA Diamonds?

Let’s start with the presentation of the basics. As hinted by the name, THC-A diamonds are characterized by their crystalline appearance. Once THC is reduced to its purest state, crystallization occurs, creating a substance that shines like no other concentrate on the market. While there may be a negative stigma surrounding similar appearance substances, don’t let its looks fool you, THC-A diamonds are truly the purest and most potent form of THC. These extracts are not made for newbie consumers and are best enjoyed by concentrate fans who desire to experience a new potency level. Crystalline THC can only activate by a process called decarboxylation (fancy science talk for “adding heat to it”), so ingesting this substance will yield no effect. Relatedly, the best method of consumption for this particular type of concentrate, much like many others, are dabbing it with a glass rig.

Strain information

Few strains come with as much widespread renown as Northern Lights, inarguably one of the most popular strains of all time. An inbred descendant of original Afghani landrace strains, Northern Lights is a pure indica. THC levels can reach 16-21%, making this one of the most potent strains available on any market. A couple hits is all it takes for most patient’s seeking this strain’s powerful body effects, an upbeat mix of euphoria and physical relaxation. CBD levels are less clear, but they certainly aren’t high enough to recommend this as a treatment for seizures or other conditions that respond to CBD. Even so, Northern Lights is a highly useful medical strain, effective at treating anxiety, pain, and insomnia, as well as lack of appetite. Cottonmouth is common, as are red eyes, while other negative effects are much more limited. This strain has a sweet, earthy flavor with hints of citrus. Northern Lights is most popular on the West Coast and in Colorado, but it’s a favorite pretty much everywhere else marijuana can be found.
